Where were you when I was lonesome? Locked away with freezing cold Someone flying only stolen I can't tell this light so old [Refrain:] I don't want to swim the ocean I don't want to fight the tide I don't want to swim forever When it's cold I'd like to die What was that my sweet sweet nothing? I can't hear you through the fog If I holler let me go If I falter let me know [Refrain] I don't want to swim forever I don't want to fight the tide I don't want to swim the ocean When it's cold I'd like to die I don't want to swim the ocean I don't want to figh the tide
